Here is a fan manga title page I made in photo shop. I orignally made the manga for my friends only it is based on Nintendo's Star Fox series done in Anime/Manga style. I just want to know if it looks good and what I might have to do improve because I want to put it on deviantart but most people don't even bother looking at my profile and art or even commenting on it. I fear I am not a good artist. Here is my deviantart page so that you can compare it to my earlier stuff if you want too.

The manga will be rated mature just want to give everyone a heads up. Also I can't sell it so it is just being made for fun.
Here is the title page. WARNING IT IS A BIG FILE:

Not bad, but I did see a couple of things.
1) First of all that laser gun/blaster pistol/what-have-you looks rather undetailed compared to everything else.
2) The shading could use some blending in certain areas. I think of the jeans. The stress lines in the jeans are too pronounced and chaotic creating more of a splotch. Try softening the shading so that individual lines aren't so obvious.
3) The aura from the man in the background has a rough sort of outline that looks a might messy. You could maybe try smearing it a little so that it becomes a soft glow?
4) Make sure to pay attention to little things in the body physiology. An example of this is that the man front center (Fox McCloud, I presume) has forearms that are a good deal larger than his upper arms. This is also assuming you were going for a realistic body structure; if not then you can ignore this one entirely.
Sorry, I don't mean to be overcritical. I think it could be pretty good with some fine-tuning here and there, and I consider myself a mite of a drawing snob though I can't draw characters particularly well. Irony.

You had better make Slippy sexy as hell. Also, if the dialog of this manga does not include the words "do a barrel roll", I refuse to acknowledge it. Haha, just kidding... sort of.

LOL millarso.
I agree I can do a better job with what you said. Also I decided not to put my manga a DA because I don't like their policy about mature content on a few things but that's just me. I would probably just link the manga to the site I am putting it on. Any way millarso thank you for your comments I was pretty much thinking the same things.
